The action is at an all-time high with our newest hero: Ashe. Take on the enemy team as a legendary outlaw armed with the Viper, a level-action rifle which can be shot from the hip or with aim down sights, increasing her firepower significantly. Light your enemies on fire with Dynamite and gain the upper hand in any situation using the Coach Gun, which can be used to propel yourself to coveted vantage points or blow away enemies. When the going gets tough, get tougher by calling in your omnic sidekick Bob. On the field, he’ll use his arm cannons to shred enemies while you pick off yellow-bellied opponents on the run.

Read moreOn November 3 at the World of Warcraft Q&A at BlizzCon 2018, players questioned panelists Alex Afrasiabi, Ion Hazzikostas, John Hight, and Chris Robinson. Many of the questions deserved a bit more time to fully answer than we originally anticipated, and in the end, eight attendees were left without the chance to ask their questions. Here are the questions that didn’t make it in time, along with our answers to each:
Over the course of the last 14 years, we've killed many Warcraft villains. What is your strategy for introducing new characters and threats to this universe?

We’re keenly aware of the need to begin building up future threats even as we confront existing ones. A major villain shouldn’t come out o...

Inside the package you’ll find 200 Timewarped Badges, a Celebration Package item to increase experience and reputation gains by 14% for 1 hour, and a “Letter from the Timewalkers,” which will start a new quest leading you to either Orgrimmar or Stormwind.

Collectors will also have a chance to pick up a few pieces of classic loot from defeating them.
Players level 1–59 who didn’t get to complete last year’s letter from the Timewalker’s quest will still be able to receive and complete it.

Things aren’t looking great, soldier. You’re stranded on Braxis and the UED is overrun. The Omegaswarm has surrounded you on all sides, and your only shot at survival is to press through the onslaught, make it to the extraction point, and get off this forsaken rock. Will you fall victim to the Swarm, or can you work together and Escape from Braxis?
In this week’s episode of Well Played, we illuminate some ways to find your footing when things are looking grim in the aggro mirror. Learn how the pros navigate the complexities of this matchup by identifying two common ways in which things tend to go south.
That’s it for this week! Next week we'll delve into the minutiae of a real-life aggro mirror matchup from the 2018 Hearthstone Championship Tour.

Read moreWhen the Cyclone had its Vespene Gas cost reduced in a patch prior to 3.8, and we also increased its supply out of caution against mass Cyclones becoming too prevalent at the time. More recently, we have gotten some high-level feedback that this Cyclone could perhaps be too weak due to how the meta has developed. In addition, when we first announced our pre-3.8 Cyclone revert, we emphasized our intention to have them scale better into the late-game. Thus,...
